<p>The Simulation menu offers the following commands:</p>

<ul type="square">

	<li><a name="reset"><b>Reset</b></a><br>
	Resets the simulation to the beginning.<br><br>
	
	Use this command to reset the simulation to the beginning. The following does happen:<br>
	- If you have defined a Controller for the current simulation, this Controller object is destructed.<br> 
	- The current SIMULATION object is destructed.<br> 
	- A new SIMULATION object is constructed and the simulation file is compiled.<br> 
	- If you have defined a Controller for the current simulation and if there are no compile errors, a new Controller object is constructed.<br>
	- All views are updated.<br>
	Tool Bar: <img alt="toolbar_reset" src="../Icons/toolbar_reset.bmp"><br>
	Keys: Shift+F5<br>
	</li>
	
	<li><a name="start"><b>Start</b></a><br>
	Starts or stops the simulation.<br><br>
	
	Use this command to start or stop the simulation. If you have changed the simulation file the
	<a href=simulationmenu.html#reset">Reset</a> command is executed first. After you started the
	simulation it runs until you use this command again or until the
	SetActors member of your Controller returns FALSE.<br>
	You can see the number of the current simulation step in the <a href="statusbar.html">Status Bar</a>.<br>
